Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

Sanders: When Trump looks out at this crowd… they pay attention to this stuff, Elon Musk does. You are scaring the hell out of them. Because they know what we know: They are the 1% and we are the 99%

Couldn’t this apply to Mar A Lago man,too? “U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has cited a rarely used statute…which gives him power to deport those who pose “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Donald Trump has made himself—and by extension, us—the laughing stock of the world.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

Yes!!! It could not happen to a better person. (Or should I say worse person?) @krassenstein.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/kras...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Unable? Unwilling. Just go to the jail,call his name out, and set him free “DOJ responded — nearly an hour after the extended deadline — by stating that they are "unable to provide" any of the information Xinis ordered.” - Chris Geidner @chrisgeidner.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/chrisgei...

Crockett: It has taken Texas’ largest measles outbreak in 30 years with more than 500 confirmed cases and the deaths of two children for the secretary of health and human services to say what we already knew. The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the vaccin

2019 is calling and saying, hey, why didn’t you listen

So he says stocks are low and it’s good time to buy. He then puts a 90 day pause on tariffs. Stock market jumps. Did he just “thank” his oligarchs for bending the knee?

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Let's talk about the so-called Save Act. Don't let the name fool you. This bill doesn't SAVE anything - this is 100% a voter suppression bill. #HandsOffHerVote

“Yes,” we must take Trump seriously, and “No” we must not engage in catastrophism that will only serve to frighten and demotivate people who should be busy defending democracy.” - Robert B. Hubbell @rbhubbell.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

It was an error he was sent there. He was denied due process. So, let me see if I have this correct. We can be denied due process according to SCOTUS. “US Supreme Court decides man deported in error can remain in El Salvador pending further court action” - Reuters www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
